You have just days left to watch Jennifer Lawrence’s “intoxicating” crime caper


You have just days left to watch Jennifer Lawrence‘s “intoxicating” crime caper American Hustle before it leaves streaming.

The 2013 film is currently available to watch for Prime Video subscribers, but is being removed on Monday.

It follows two con artists who are coerced into working for the FBI, and must perform a sting operation to take down some corrupt politicians.

Alongside Lawrence, the film stars Bradley Cooper, Christian Bale, Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner.

In Digital Spy‘s review from the time, we praised the performances of its fantastic cast, but said the film is let down by “an overly convenient, rushed finale that wraps proceedings up on a slightly unsatisfactory note”.

On IMDB, American Hustle has a score of 7.8 from user reviews, with fans calling it “intoxicating and dangerous” and “an absolute joy to watch”.

The film was released during Lawrence’s time leading The Hunger Games franchise, and a few years ago she admitted that the series led to her feeling a loss of self.

“[Between] Hunger Games coming out and winning the Oscar [for Silver Linings Playbook], I think that I became such kind of a commodity that I felt like every decision was a big, big group decision,” she said.

“I had no idea what a huge movie star does next or what Katniss Everdeen should do after this.

“When I reflect now, I think of those following years as just kind of a loss of control and then a reaction to try to get back.”

American Hustle is available to stream on Prime Video until Monday.
